"Betted" is neither wrong nor unusual.
"Knit" as P/PP is simply WRONG.

@spacemagick The verbs "bet" and "knit" can be either with or without -ted. Some speakers prefer bet/knit; others prefer betted/knitted. See, for example, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bet, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/knit

I think I once heard Grandma Clampett use 'knit' as a past tense so I guess that makes it as fine as frog's hair.

@spacemagick Check out the 2023 season of “Alone,” episode 8. Alan uses “knit” as the past tense about 7 minutes in.
